Updates on MHV release

Okay, it looks like Simon & Schuster should be giving me the books for Uncle Hugos today. I’ll sign all of them tonight and have UPS pick them up tomorrow.  I’ll post here when they arrive. MHV kicked butt all day yesterday and made the movers and shakers list over on Amazon. We got into [...]

Today is the release for Monster Hunter Vendetta

It is in stores now!  Please, tell your friends. Tweet it, Facebook it, carrier-pigeon, post it on your blog, whatever, but Monster Hunter Vendetta is out now. If you like it, please post a review, especially on Amazon. If you don’t like it, then don’t post a review, because you will be wrong, and then [...]

Update: Signed copies of MHV for Uncle Hugos

The copies of MHV that I’m supposed to sign and send to Uncle Hugos have not arrived yet. I checked, and Simon & Schuster supposedly shipped them on Monday. So I’m just waiting for them to get here. So don’t be made at Uncle Hugos. They can’t ship them until they get them, so please [...]

Role-playing for CCW! It’s not just for geeks anymore!

Though I’m not currently actively teaching anymore, I used to teach a lot of CCW classes. For a couple of years there it wasn’t uncommon for me to teach five or more classes a month, with anywhere from 5 to 60 people in a class. My certs are still current, and I still teach once [...]

Hey Utah County, I’m doing a presentation and signing at UVU

http://www.uvu.edu/ce/cw/bookacademy/  September 30th. It should be fun. I’m doing a signing at 1:30 and I’m conducting a workshop about how to write action.  Swing on by and say hi.

Details about the signings this weekend

Here are the details about the signing this weekend, far more constructively organized than I am seemingly capable of:  http://writerssymposium.blogspot.com/2010/09/super-writers-of-universe-and-friends.html  Swing by and say hi. I will have copies of MHI and MHV there, and there are a bunch of other really awesome writers too.

Let the Redshirtining begin!

LET THE REDSHIRTINING BEGIN! Hmmm… doesn’t sound right. Okay, imagine that said in the same tone of voice as “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!” The original, not the Liam Neeson owed somebody money version. The following people donated at least $50 to the Misha Hintze kidney transplant fund. Some folks even donated more. Misha is still waiting for [...]

Andrew Breitbart takes on an entire protest by himself… and wins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWlqiv-YL7c&feature=player_embedded That was amazing. I liked Breitbart before, but I just gained a whole lot of respect for the man.

What is it with people posting to year old blog posts?

Some folks love to comment on year old political blog posts, where absolutely nobody will see their wisdom. Sometimes I get some real gems too. Like, I just got this one from Gabriel Givens: If you put the Republicans back in power they will cut all government checks plus the brand new health care just [...]

Local Book Signings coming up!

Saturday the 25th from 11:00-1:00 I’ll be at the Jordan Landing Barnes & Noble in West Jordan.  There will also be a ton of other writers there too, like Dave Farland, Tracy Hickman, John Brown, Eric Stone, Brad Torgersen, Jaleta Clegg, and I’m probably forgetting somebody. Then we are going over to the Borders at [...]
